Advancing integration in the approach to older adults with HIV: perspectives from geriatric and HIV specialists
This study highlights significant gaps in knowledge, training, and interdisciplinary collaboration in the care of OAWH. While both geriatricians and HIV specialists recognize the unique needs of this population, barriers such as insufficient training and role ambiguity hinder progress. Our findings support earlier, biologically informed interventions and integration of geriatrics into routine HIV care; targeted training and institutional support appear warranted.
